    Synodality: Listening to a vocal minority of elite homosexual Germans hostile to the Catholic faith.

  2. JonPatrick says:

    Unfortunately that vocal minority will keep pushing until they win their two goals – ordination of women and Church acceptance of homosexual acts as normative.

  3. I don’t believe God will allow either of those to happen in the Church He founded. Were either of those to occur, that would be a proof that that group would be the “ape of the Church”, which might have had to go underground.

    Maranatha.

    I still wonder what the goal of all this is. If one looks at the churches who have allowed females and homosexuals to be ordained (and even consecrated as bishops), they have all fallen apart.
    Could it be that formally defining infallibility was a mistake because the liberals are assuming if the Pope were to state these things are allowed, it would make them morally and/or theologically acceptable (voluntarism?) . And then conservatives would stick around because we should obey the Pope? I often hear Protestants say “It is wrong because God says it is wrong.” But they should say,”God says it is wrong because it is wrong.” The Church has always held these truths about sexual morality because sexual acts not open to life are wrong. The Church did not make them wrong. Likewise, the Church received the teaching of an all-male priesthood from our Lord, it did not arbitrarily choose it.

    Yes, they’ll keep pushing, but let’s not forget the promise Our Lord made to Saint Peter.
